According to Sport, Laporta would be interested in acquiring Milan winger Leao this summer. However, a club recruitment report assessed that the Portugal international did not have much ” defensive capacity ” and that there were doubts about his ability to face ” compact defenses » – something Barcelona often have to deal with.
Not the right profile
The report adds that Leao is expected to cost at least 90 million euros. At a time when Laporta’s Barca are desperately trying to sign Dani Olmo and Pau Victor for the second half of the season due to their ongoing financial problems, spending so much money on Leao can be seen as unwise.
The Portuguese, 25, whose contract with Milan runs until 2028 after signing a five-year deal in 2023, has scored 64 goals and made 56 assists in 233 appearances for the Italian giants.
Barca, who may ultimately succeed in signing Olmo and Victor, are currently focused on their bid to win the Spanish Super Cup when they face bitter rivals Real Madrid on Sunday.
